## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn streets at dusk, a single bloodied glove left on cobblestones.

A hunted man, bleeding into his coat, moves through a city that turns its back inch by inch.

Carol Reed turns noir’s flickering lanterns into a question the entire frame refuses to answer.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, slow-burn
